Dear Dotsie,
March 13, 2009

"Do what you can, with what you have, wherever you can."
Teddy Roosevelt
 
I don't think the above quote would have spoken to me if I read it a year ago. The state of the economy certainly changes the way one thinks. Just a little reminder that we don't need much to make a difference. It doesn't always take money to do what we can. Sometimes a few kind words can change one's path or perspective. Why not use our words, after all they're free, and do what you can to encourage someone today?

Speaking of encouraging words. How about these kind words from NABBW member Dr. Diana Kirschner, PhD:

I urge you to join the NABBW!! I am a member myself and know first-hand how terrifically supportive and helpful they are. The NABBW offers highly useful information for boomer women in their newsletters and teleseminars--just what you need to learn, exactly when you need it! Don't miss out on the opportunity to join like-minded women exploring all the possibilities we have for creating more health, happiness and love in our lives.

~Dr. Diana Kirschner, author of the bestselling book, Love in 90 Days: The Essential Guide to Finding Your Own True Love.
 
Why not join us at www.nabbw.com!

Have a friend, sister or colleague struggling in this economy? Then we'd like you to forward this email to as many of them as possible. We're doing this in an effort to spread the news about our two part series Boomer Finances: Making sense of it all. Our first teleseminar, March 24, will be an informational hour, followed on March 31 with a second one hour call in Q and A. If you want the latest financial advice, please plan to take advantage of this offer. Even if you believe you have a handle on your finances, it's always good to get a second opinion. Hope to hear you on the calls. More information below and on our sites.

The NABBW is excited to do our part in educating boomer women about the current economic status impacting our generation and we'd like you to share it with your friends. Thank you. Please forward this email!
 
On Wednesday, April 8, I'll be participating in an 8-week FREE teleseminar series, Women Ready For Change, with NABBW member, Dr. Gail Lewis. My topic is "Stirring Your Creative Juices at Midlife" and I'll be discussing the power of creativity and why it's more easily accessible at this time in our lives. The series began on March 11. For a complete listing of the lineup of speakers, click HERE!

I continue to hear that members of the NABBW are enjoying their subscriptions to More magazine, the national magazine for women 40+. If you're a member and still haven't registered for your FREE subscription, please email us.

She wants to take care of herself but can't always squeeze it in because she's so busy caring for any of the following: her husband, mother, father, children, grandchildren, in-laws, neighbors, friends, colleagues, etc. Won't you please help her out by sharing this newsletter and the NABBW with her?

Thank you for connecting, encouraging and supporting boomer women. May we all be enlightened, educated and empowered!

Introducing NABBW's Featured Member for March...



When Inez Bracy was a teacher, she was known as the teacher to go to talk about problems, issues and concerns because she listened. Inez asked questions to help students, parents and colleagues tap into their inner strength and set their own direction. She was known for practicing confidentiality because she believed in holding sacred the bonds created with the people who trusted her.  

Little did she know that would lead to what she's doing today. Inez' chosen career is working with business and professional women over 50 who've enjoyed a life of work, business and career. The women who work with Inez are embracing the opportunity to experience a fullness of life outside of their career. Using reflection and questioning, and other NLP techniques, these women are tapping into their passions and creating an extraordinary life NOW!

Inez combines more than twenty years of experience working with others, helping them to really understand who they are and who they intend to be. Using a unique and grounded approach in strategic planning, motivation, negotiation and leadership development women over 50 step confidently into the life they desire and deserve.

As a masterful coach, Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner (NLP), engaging keynote speaker, trainer and seminar presenter, Inez keeps groups enthusiastically engaged. Inez' clients say that she provides clarity, excitement, and momentum infused with confidence. She specializes in designing and co-designing learning that deepens understanding and encourages people to experience life fully.

She's passionate about helping others live their best life.

MARCH - a two-part financial teleseminar!

BOOMER FINANCES -   Making sense of it all
 PART I

Register for the call!

Jennifer Campion, CRPC
Financial Planning Specialist
Portfolio Manager/Financial Advisor
SMITH BARNEY
Tuesday, March 24, 2009
3:00 p.m. EST


With over 12 years in financial planning, Jennifer Campion focuses on advising women and small businesses in customized retirement planning and comprehensive wealth management.

In this teleseminar, Jennifer will address issues like being caught up in the housing crisis, or what to do when you've been laid off from your job. Maybe you want to retire but aren't sure you can afford to do so. All these topics, plus more will be discussed on the call. Here are a few more questions Jennifer will cover:

  • My investments and retirement account have lost substantial value. What should I do?
  • What steps do I need to take regarding my recent job loss? 
  • How safe is cash?
  • Is it more important to put money into my kid's college accounts or should I be funding my retirement account?
  • I'm still healthy. Do I need Long Term Care?
  • What are the benefits of a reverse mortgage? How do I know if it's right for me?
  • Are CD's a good idea with the loss of so much 401K?
Join us for this teleseminar as Jennifer walks boomers through the maze of the finance worlds.

BOOMER FINANCES - Making sense of it all
PART II - QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
3:00 p.m. EST

Our teleseminar, Boomer Finances - Making sense of it all - Part II, continues on Tuesday, March 31, 2009, at 3:00 PM (EST) with a Question and Answer (Q&A) session. Because this subject is so involved, we felt it would be to your advantage to break this teleseminar in two parts.

This Q&A session is your chance to bring your concerns and inquiries directly to the financial planning expert from Smith Barney and our host for this two-part teleseminar, Jennifer Campion, CRPC, and receive the information you need to make the crucial, midlife, and healthy financial choices for you and your family.

If you cannot be on the call but would like to have your questions addressed, feel free to email Dotsie your question and if time allows, Jennifer will discuss them during this Q&A one-hour session. Once the Q&A is complete, it will be transcribed and you will be mailed an audio link, and also a PDF (Word) document link to download and read at your convenience.

Join us for the second part of this teleseminar as Jennifer answers our questions about boomer finances, and really does help us, "make sense of it all."
